Dan,

Interesting you note the lack of lumbar support in the stock seats. I have
had the same impression, which is compounded by my long legs. The solution
I came up with was to remove padding from the stock seat under my tail bone.
After removing the seat, I first cut out the black rubber diaphragm in the
shape of a oval racetrack (like Indy). Than I pick out a substantial amount
of the foam rubber in that area, going back as far as I can thru the cutout
hole. The results for me are much more comfortable, and since I am the only
one driving the car the power option is not missed.

> I replaced my seats with Porsche Boxster seats. The power part is
functional, as are the heating elements in the seats. The first set of
brackets made the seats kinda high. I re-made the brackets which lowered
them a little bit, but they are still a little higher than stock. It's
actually kinda nice taking a look out the window and not seeing right in my
line of vision that molding that separates the two windows in the door. I
don't bump my head, but I guess if you're 6'2" or taller, you'll have to lay
the seat back a little bit. I have no problems being 5'11". They are a lot
more comfy than stock seats in my opinion. They have more lumbar support
which is what was bothing me with the stock seats.
